BairesDev and ScrumLaunch both build software with engineers in Latin America, both list $50–99 an hour on Clutch, and both do AI work. The difference is scale and shape. BairesDev is the choice when you need many engineers fast and will manage the product yourself. ScrumLaunch fits when you want a small named team to take a product from scope to release, at a price agreed upfront.

Where BairesDev is the better choice
- You need many engineers at once. A bench of 4,000+ can staff ten or twenty roles in the time a smaller company fills two.
- You run the product yourself. BairesDev's main model is engineers who join your team and work under your managers. If you already have product managers and a delivery process, that is what you need.
- You want a long track record on review sites. 63 Clutch reviews against our 11.
- Your procurement wants a large vendor. A 1,000+ person company clears enterprise vendor checks more easily.
Where ScrumLaunch is the better choice
- You want a product built, not only staffed. We put a named team on it, usually one to three engineers with design, QA and a project manager, and own the delivery from discovery to release and the weeks after.
- You want the price before you start. We publish what MVPs cost us to build: $2.5K–18K for a validation build, $10K–20K for a lean web MVP, $35K–105K for a standard web or mobile MVP, and $109K–200K for a multi-product one. See MVP development services for what each band covers.
- Your budget is a first version, not a year of engineers. A two-week validation build is a normal starting point for us.
- You want AI built into the product. We have logged 41,500 hours on client AI products; see our agentic AI development work and how we run AI transformation on an existing team. If you only need people, we also place AI engineers into your team.
What to ask either company
- Which named engineers will join, and can I interview them before they start?
- Who manages the work day to day: you or us?
- What does the first month cost, and what is the notice period after it?
- Which products similar to mine have you shipped, and can I talk to that client?
- Whose name are the repository and cloud accounts in?

FAQ
For product builds and teams of up to about ten engineers, yes. ScrumLaunch publishes fixed MVP prices and puts a named team with design, QA and project management on the product. For dozens of engineers at once, BairesDev's bench of 4,000+ is the safer choice.
